[9fans] fortune in login window

[Antonin Vecera]

Hello people,

I have file $home/bin/rc/riostart , which starts my favorite programs
after my login to terminal.
I would like to have in my initial rc window printed a message from
fortune, something like this:

+--
|  Don't worry, be happy!
|
| term$ _
|
|


I am not successful with it. Does anybody know, how to make it?

Antonin

Hi All,

acme is empty.
do I need to do anything to get entries under /mnt/acme
P.S: /mnt/acme is empty in both 9vx and VMWare'ed Plan9

The startup script is envoked by your profile ($home/lib/profile)
where it starts rio (I call mine startup, you seem to call yours 
riostartup, its personal choice really)

here is the relevant line in mine:

exec rio -s -i startup

and here is my $home/bin/rc/startup

#!/bin/rc

auth/fgui &
if(~ $service terminal)
window -r 0 0 200 120 stats -lmei $sysname $cpu
if not
window -r 0 0 200 120 stats -lmei

window -r 201 0 845 120 faces -i 
window -r 1159 0 1279 120 clock
window -r 95 212 921 734 logwin

The last line above starts logwin which is a seperate script which
opens my first terminal window and runs fortune etc in it, here is
$home/bin/rc/logwin

#!/bin/rc

fortune
calendar -y
news
echo

exec rc -i

were you checking from an acme window?  /mnt/acme is not
part of your login namespace so other windows won't see it.

[9fans] Vacfs/9pfuse problems?

[Venkatesh Srinivas]

Hi,

I've been having some trouble with vacfs and 9pfuse. I can mount a root
score, I can read files fine. 

If I Control-C any I/O operations, though, vacfs just 'goes away', Linux 
complains about the transport endpoint being disconnected.


Also, running 'find' causes problems - after processing a small number
of directories, find stops finding new files and returns 'permission
denied' for directories, whether or not the permissions allow
reading/traversing. Unmounting and remounting vacfs and walking the
directory by hand both work.

Anyone else have these kind of problems?

Thanks,

[9fans] vbackup via ssh portforwarding

[Matthias Teege]

Moin,

I can use vac with a port forwared via ssh. For the forwarding I use
something like this:

ssh -R17034:$venti:17034 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Vbackup hangs

# vbackup -V -w 16 /dev/mapper/sys-a
vbackup -> Thello tag 0 vers 02 uid anonymous strength 0 crypto 0: codec 0:
vbackup <- Rhello tag 0 sid anonymous rcrypto 0 rcodec 0

Is it possible to use vbackup thru a ssh tunnel?

Many thanks
Matthias

Re: [9fans] Where to find plan9

[Lorenzo Fernando Bivens de la Fuente]

google should be enough...

http://9fans.net should be the result of your search...

But then... Am I the only one unable to reach 9fans.net?

cheers!

 I see the same 9pfuse behaviour mounting ircfs or u9fs at work. If I
interrupt some I/O, I lose the mount.
 Haven't seen the find problem, 9pfuse -D might be instructive there.
